Sordevolo is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Biella in the Italian region Piedmont, located about northeast of Turin and about west of Biella.

Sordevolo borders the following municipalities: Biella, Graglia, Muzzano, Occhieppo Superiore, Pollone, Lillianes. The village is located in the Elvo Valley, a natural land at the foot of the Alps, in the middle of a religious and cultural area. Sordevolo can be considered a place of faith and popular devotion, whose widest expressions are the seven churches (and up to the last century three brotherhoods, too), and the Passion Play, while in the past were the Last Judgement Play in the 19th century and St. Augustine drama, were performed in 1777. Sordevolo is also historically bound to the textile industry that influenced the life of the village for centuries.
